My Mommy Is A CEO

“My people can be trusted, and besides, aren’t you also accompanied by people?” Miles remained unmoved, glancing at the host standing next to Casper and the four other executives stationed on either side of the projection screen.

“Dad…” Casper’s face was full of embarrassment as he smiled at the other shareholders to show his helplessness, and continued to persuade Miles,

“They are helping me organize the files, so if you do this… it makes it difficult for me to work…”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

No one besides Lucia can understand Miles’ intentions. When everyone saw Casper being so humble and respectful towards his father, their eyes couldn’t help but turn to Miles, with a hint of doubt in them. They didn’t understand why he had to argue with his own son over such a trivial matter.

Miles looked coldly at Casper, who had a smile on his face but with a warning hidden deep in his eyes that only he could see.

If they dragged on any longer, it will affect the entire plan. Miles assessed the situation and let out an almost imperceptible hum before waving his hand to dismiss Thomas. Anyway, a trap had already been set outside, so he was not afraid of him escaping.

Satisfied to see that the “idle people” had been cleared out, Casper then instructed the host to begin the meeting. Everyone finally relaxed, as they were afraid that the father and son might have started arguing.

Everything was proceeding step by step, and the host began to explain the meeting process. Casper, who used to be serious during meetings, changed his demeanor and always had a faint smile on his lips. His gaze occasionally shifted between Lucia and Miles. This reaction made Lucia extremely unhappy. She paid no attention to what was displayed on the screen and instead lowered her eyes to focus on the documents in front of her when she noticed Casper looking at her, waiting for Arthur to bring people in.

The summary of the work in the first half of the year had been completed, and Casper expressed recognition and approval to the executives. The meeting now moved on to planning for the second half of the year, but at this point, almost an hour had already passed.

Casper’s gaze became increasingly brazen, almost fixated on Lucia. From his perspective, Lucia’s profile was particularly exquisite. Despite her professional attire, her innate charm could not be concealed. When she lowered her gaze, he could clearly see her curled lashes and occasionally when she blinked, a flutter of lashes added a touch of liveliness.

As Casper looked at Lucia, his mind had already wandered far away. Even though he knew that he might face a brutal blow later and couldn’t even guarantee a successful counterattack, all he could think of was Lucia. It was at this moment that he realized his obsession wasn’t with reclaiming JTP Group but with Lucia herself.

Just as Casper was lost in his thoughts, Lucia had already looked up at him and said with displeasure, “Mr. Wood, is there something on my face? Why do you keep staring at me like that?”

Everyone could hear Lucia’s annoyance, especially since they had all noticed Casper’s unusual gaze earlier. However, due to their status, they didn’t dare speak up. Now that Lucia had spoken out herself, everyone remained silent but still wanted to know what would happen next.

“Ms. Webb, you’re overthinking it. You are the major shareholder of StandHill. I just wanted to see if you were satisfied with this meeting,” Casper said with a smile as he tried to justify his rudeness.

“If you value this meeting so much, then please focus on the content of the meeting rather than my reaction,” Lucia replied coldly.

Casper smiled and naturally shifted his gaze away from her.

At this moment, Miles glanced down at his watch and realized that the meeting had been going on for an hour now. Arthur and the others should have already taken control of StandHill by now. He was running out of patience.

Suddenly, Miles stood up, leaving everyone puzzled. All eyes turned towards him, and Casper’s face grew solemn. He clenched his fists on the documents in front of him but did not try to stop Miles.

“Dear shareholders, it has been an hour since the meeting started. I would like to know your thoughts on the recent development of StandHill,” Miles adjusted his collar and asked the audience.

His question seemed strange but many people nodded approvingly saying, “With Mr. Wood senior and Mr. Wood junior leading us, we are sure to succeed.”

“I don’t think I’m capable enough to educate such an excellent son,” Miles calmly remarked which immediately caused a stir among those present,

“What does that mean?”

“Mr. Wood, are you still angry about what happened earlier?”

“Mr. Wood, please don’t say things like that… it hurts father-son relationships…”

The shareholders tried their best to persuade him, otherwise because no one knew why Miles suddenly brought up such a vague topic during such an important gathering.

“Dad, what do you want exactly?” Casper motioned for them all be quiet before asking Mile calmly yet confidently.

“I, Miles Wood, feel guilty towards all of you. Since Casper established StandHill, he has been abusing his power, bribing and being bribed, maliciously provoking competition in the industry and engaging in illegal business practices. Although he seems to be doing a good job on the surface, he has actually led StandHill into a place of evil. Once these materials are reported, not only will he be held accountable but all of you will also be implicated!”

As soon as Miles spoke these words, the shareholders were shocked and someone immediately stood up to speak,

“Mr. Wood, what’s going on with you? He is your son! How can you accuse him like this without any evidence? We are all shareholders of the company and have never heard such rumors before. You will be responsible for making baseless accusations at the shareholder meeting!”

“Yes! Mr. Wood, your temper is too short! You got angry just because you contradicted him a few times earlier…” Some even thought that Miles was just angry and making up lies because Casper had challenged him.

“I am responsible for everything I say,” Miles said proudly without showing any fear under everyone’s criticism. He faced everyone and said,

“You can look through the documents in your hands now. I have compiled all of Casper’s illegal activities since joining our company into one document for your review so that you can see if I am falsely accusing him.”

Upon hearing this from Miles, everyone began to doubt it as they started flipping through their documents frantically searching for proof or evidence against his claims.

The first few pages contained information about today’s meeting but when they reached page ten, there was another document which detailed every single one of Casper’s unlawful actions within their company including dates, times, and amounts involved – everything was clearly marked out.

For a moment, no one knew how to react as silence filled the room except for rustling papers being flipped back-and-forth between them.
